Yeah. I've heard all that before. I don't necessarily buy it. If you get a chance, read the book "Roger's Recovery From Aids", written by an M.D. who treated another M.D. who had Aids. Just read it. If you can find it anywhere.

It might raise some new questions in your mind, and add to your clearly large and erudite body of knowledge on the subject of Aids (I am not being sarcastic when I say that).

God doesn't punish anyone, in my opinion. People damage themselves, usually in an unaware fashion, by the way they eat, drink, emote, think, live, behave, and all the rest of it. What happens to them is not punishment, it is simple cause and effect. There are a great many causes for a disease like that, not just one.
